Is it really that uncommon to not have any mental health issues around food/weight?

I have noticed a lot of people post on here about binge eating disorder, terrible emotional stress around hating themselves, guilt and value judgements in association with food, etc. But as with anything on the internet, you post about needing help with things you need help with, just because there are a lot of posts doesn't make something the majority of experiences.

But just then I was reading through a thread somewhere else on weight loss, and people kept saying there was an emotional component to it, over and over. Is it really so common? I would have thought maybe 50/50? Anyone have any actual stats on it?

(I'm defining people with non emotional involvement as people who just have bad habits, get tired and don't cook, eat foods with high calorie density, are pretty sedentary, etc. People whose biggest challenge is to get the habits set, and resisting good tastes of certain foods)
